Fire and Ice - Issue1 — Description
I didn’t want to get too repetitive with these covers so here is one that’s a little different. I was thinking of doing separate Fire and Ice issues but they are such a great duo that I had to merge them. The thing about Fire and Ice as character is that just like powers they are totally opposite people. Fire is the confident extrovert while Ice is the shy quite one. This too has been demonstrated in the costumes. The 90’s era Fire looked like a supermodel bike chick with lots of exposed skin. Ice’s costume was a one piece suit with a shirt. Fire was voluptuously gorgeous, while Ice was small and cute.

I didn’t want to go with any of their previous costumes with this one. The 80’s ones were a bit cheesy and the 90’s ones were too predictable. So I went back to their 80’s costumes and re-imagined them. I combined the look of he 80’s Fire costume with the biker attitude of the 90’s and came up with a retro flame-job suit. For ice I took her 80’s costume and made it look more like a wet suit.

Once again these were characters that didn’t have symbols to represent them so I made up two that fit their new themes.

Enjoy!
